[zeromq-dev] Salt ZeroMQ bug on large deployments

I believe if you upgrade to a later version of zeromq this assertion 
will disappear.
This assertion used to appear because a pipe used for command 
structures  between threads filled up and in that case it's buffer is 
attempted to be resized which proved flaky.
In later versions of a single byte was written down the pipe and the 
command passed over memory.
